What to Know

The #6 Duke Blue Devils have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Duke and the NC State Wolfpack will face off in an ACC battle at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday at PNC Arena. Duke is currently enjoying a seven-game winning streak and is looking to extend their dominance.

The Blue Devils were the big favorite in their most recent game, and for good reason. They steamrolled past the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 94-60 at home. Duke relied on the efforts of center Vernon Carey Jr., who had 21 points, and guard Tre Jones, who had 19 points and six assists along with seven rebounds.

Meanwhile, NC State was close but no cigar on Sunday as they fell 71-68 to the Boston College Eagles. Four players on NC State scored in the double digits: guard C.J. Bryce (15), guard Devon Daniels (15), forward Jericole Hellems (15), and forward DJ Funderburk (10).

Duke is now 22-3 while NC State sits at 16-9. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: The Blue Devils enter the contest with 5.9 blocked shots per game on average, good for sixth best in college basketball. NC State is not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they rank 17th in college basketball when it comes to blocked shots per game, with 4.6 on average. Points in the paint might be hard to come by.
